Orientation & Registration

Bluffton University's orientation program is made up of two separate events. Summer
Orientation & Registration is a day-long event held during the spring/summer. Fall
Welcome is held the weekend before classes begin in August.

Summer orientation & registration is a one-day program designed to give students and
families the information needed for the start of fall semester classes. Students will
meet with an academic adviser to register for classes, see their residence hall room
and interact with current students. Parents and family members will learn about student
support and meet other college parents in a series of structured sessions.Schedule >>>

The fall welcome program is designed to make the start of your college experience
a positive one - inside and outside the classroom. New students will arrive on Friday,
Aug. 22, 2014 (three days prior to the start of fall classes) and participate in many
activities and events to get to know each other and the campus before classes actually
begin. You won't want to miss what this important program has to offer.
